Do we need folic?

Hi, anyone know if folic is required n when to start? I am a ivf patient w NUH. Recently tested positive. Clinic only prescribed all other ivf medication for pregnancy so I am not sure if I need to take folic. Thank u.

Yes it’s crucial for first trimester or when ttc because it helps with the neural tube formation. I get mine from Holland and barrett. It’s tiny and easy to consume daily. Watson or guardian is fine too

Need to check with your gynae bcz from what i know, folic acid is crucial for at least the first trimester. And congratssss!!! 🥳

Hello fellow NUH ivf patient :) Just went for my dating scan n I asked the doc about it. I think they forget to prescribe folic earlier when I tested positive. So they nw then prescribed me.

I am with KKH and am still taking folic acid. Nurse says to continue till doc states otherwise.

Yes. Need folic acid especially during first trimester. Im ivf patient with kkh

yes for the 1st 3months. u may check with gynae
